Forecasting commodity prices: GARCH, jumps, and mean reversion
In examining stochastic models for commodity prices, central questions often revolve around time-varying trend, stochastic convenience yield and volatility, and mean reversion. This paper seeks to assess and compare alternative approaches to modelling these effects, with focus on forecast performance. Three specifications are considered: (i) random-walk models with GARCH and normal or Student- t innovations; (ii) Poisson-based jump-diffusion models with GARCH and normal or Student- t innovations; and (iii) mean-reverting models that allow for uncertainty in equilibrium price. Our empirical application makes use of aluminium spot and futures price series at daily and weekly frequencies. Results show: (i) models with stochastic convenience yield outperform all other competing models, and for all forecast horizons; (ii) the use of futures prices does not always yield lower forecast error values compared to the use of spot prices; and (iii) within the class of (G)ARCH random-walk models, no model uniformly dominates the other.

While we enjoyed allocating stats and having intricate skill trees in Diablo II (as well as the benefits they provided), we ultimately feel the current stat and skill system is better for Diablo III. We heavily iterated on the skill trees and stat points in Diablo III for quite some time, but we felt that they simply didn't fit the direction we wanted to go with the game. They added artificial complexity to the game, but didn't actually add much in the way of customization. They also often rendered a remarkable penalty, in that if you mis-allocated a stat point or skill the wrong way, or simply wanted to change it at a later point in time, you were out of luck, as you were locked to your original choice.
We strongly feel that in general, players will know whether or not they like a particular skill or play style only after they've had a chance to try it out for themselves. And while there definitely is some intrigue and fun to permanently committing yourself to a particular character design, it's not what we envision for Diablo III. We want players to be able to experiment and find a combination of skills and runes that they enjoy and that fit them the best. We also don't believe that the current skill system would really benefit from a free allocation of stats, either. We think that players can achieve a sizable level of customization through runes, and that this system fits in much better with the overall design of the game.
First off, I want to thank you for replying to this thread and acknowledging the fact that someone within the organization is at least reading some of the players' suggestions.
However, I think it is time to admit that the dev team's "vision" for D3 character development and customization is flawed. There is no character customization outside of equipment choice, which is extremely limited (including only a handful of socketable items and zero enchantments). Runes do not offer greater customization, as every character within a given class is exactly the same at a given level. People who play RPGs, even ARPGs, want certain weight to be given to any choice they make for their characters. That's what gives a player a certain level of ownership over their toon.
Why not implement any of the character development choices from WoW? At least there, each character must follow a set play style path (tank, dps, healer). If a player decides they want to switch it up, add a respec option. Such a thing would be an amazing gold sink as well. It also adds a replayability factor. Currently, there is no reason to lvl two characters of the same class. No reason at all.

Parents should follow these eight guidelines to determine if their child needs to lose weight and help them achieve a healthy body mass index.
1. Have a doctor check your child's BMI to determine if weight loss is necessary.
2. Make sure your child gets at least one hour of exercise every day.
3. Avoid fast food and pre-packaged meals in spite of their convenience.
4. Parents: Change your family's eating habits so they filter down to the children; lead by example.
5. Offer genuine support and encouragement to a child who is trying to lose weight.
6. Don't become the "food police," forcing or prohibiting certain foods; this will likely result in rebellion.
7. Avoid fad diets. Children need a healthy balance of foods including recommended amounts of fat and carbs as well as regular servings of fruit and veggies.
8. Stay positive. Weight loss is a journey, and a challenging one for most!

Consider the data
Angle of elevation to the helicopter to be
Distance is 6800 m.
Approach the solution by first draw and label a picture to illustrate the position of the helicopter, the shoreline and the patrol boat.
Next, set up a trigonometric ratio using the information given.
Lastly, find the distance between the patrol boat and the point where the package will land on the shoreline.
The positions of the helicopter, the shoreline and the patrol boat can be illustrated by a right triangle.
Since the helicopter is dropping a package down to the shoreline, the path the package travels is perpendicular to the shoreline.
In the triangle below, H represents the position of the helicopter, S represents the spot where the package lands on the shoreline, and P represents the position of the patrol boat. Note that the patrol boat is 6800 m from the helicopter as labeled.
Also, the angle of elevation is as labeled.

Donate to Japan Victims, Not to Scammers
Scammers already are trying to profit off the tragedy and devastation of the massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
That means if you're eager to donate to the victims in Japan, it's best to proceed carefully. Already, a scam email is circulating that purports to be from the British Red Cross, asking that donations be wired, says Jenny Shearer, a spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"Look up whatever organization you like to give your money to, go to their website, find them in the phone book, or go to their office if they're near you," Ms. Shearer says. "If you respond to an email or you wire money, that money is not going to go where you intend it to go to."
Among other snares, scammers may create websites that look like legitimate charitable organizations so they can steal givers' credit-card numbers and other personal data. Fraudsters also send out "phishing" emails with links to those fake sites, or links to sites that drop malware or viruses to your machine. Or they'll attach photos of the disaster, but those attachments contain malware or viruses. Then there's "smishing," unsolicited text messages that try to prompt you to give up your personal information or credit-card number.
Whether you plan to text your donation or mail a check, make sure the charity is an established organization. You can vet charities on websites such as CharityNavigator.org and the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance (bbb.org/us/charity).
Be wary of pleas for donations on Facebook and other social-media sites. They may be legitimate, but research the charitable organization before contributing. And don't click on links to a charitable site. Instead, type the charity's website address directly into your browser to avoid being led to scam sites that look real.
Never give money in response to an unsolicited email message or phone call. Instead, contact the charity yourself. Also be wary of groups that say they will forward donations.
If you text a donation, keep in mind that it may take as long as 90 days for the charity to receive your gift, according to Charity Navigator.
You can file any fraud complaints with the Internet Crime Complaint Center, a partnership of the FBI, the National White Collar Crime Center and the Bureau of Justice Assistance. You also can call the National Center for Disaster Fraud at 1-866-720-5721.

Bank on Higher ATM Fees
Some of the nation's biggest banks are imposing a variety of new fees on people who withdraw money from automated-teller machines. The move is the latest example of the burgeoning new fees that banks are imposing on customers accustomed to years of free services.
J.P. Morgan Chase, JPM -0.20 % TD Bank Financial and PNC Financial Services PNC -0.45 % already are changing their ATM policies to collect more fees.
J.P. Morgan's Chase CCF -0.31 % retail division, for example, is going after noncustomers who withdraw money from the bank's ATMs, according to people familiar with the matter. Chase executives have grumbled about customers of rival banks using the company's machines even though it charges them $3, the standard in the banking industry. Chase is now testing fees of $5 and $4 in Illinois and Texas, respectively, for noncustomer withdrawals.
The banking industry justifies the higher fees on its machines by saying that the expense of maintaining and operating ATM networks is rising.
More bank consumers will also be facing charges from their own institutions. TD Bank last week dropped its policy of letting its customers use other ATMs for free. The bank is now charging the industry standard of $2 to most of its customers.
PNC recently announced that it will later this year give up its five-year-old program of reimbursing some customers for charges incurred when using a non-PNC ATM.

The Wall Street Journal
Disaster Insurance
The earthquake and tsunami in Japan have prompted homeowners everywhere to double-check their coverage. But those who decide that more coverage will help them sleep better may find an unpleasant surprise: Premiums are expected to spike.
The costs of earthquake insurance and flood coverage were already climbing, even before the disaster in Japan (and that, analysts say, won't help pricing either).
Earthquake-insurance premiums jumped by as much as 58% in some regions, says Mike Chaney, commissioner of insurance for Mississippi. They now cost anywhere from $100 to $3,000 annually depending on where you live. Flood coverage costs an average of $570 a year, up 4% from 2009.
Those costs are expecting to keep rising, says Drew Woodbury, an equity analyst covering insurance at Morningstar.
What's driving the uptick? Premiums move up after more claims are filed, and over the past few years U.S. homeowners have filed thousands of claims related to a series of hurricanes, says Mr. Chaney. Another jump in claims is expected next year if more devastating hurricanes and other natural disasters occur.
Not every homeowner needs the extra coverage. But while basic homeowners insurance usually protects against fire and lightning, it often doesn't cover floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters. Consumers wanting coverage for those need to purchase additional policies.

KWorld PlusTV Dual DVB-T Stick (DVB-T 399U)
If you're looking to add TV functions to your notebook, then the most logical and cost-effective step is to add a USB TV tuner.
This unit from KWorld is typical of those on offer, being slightly larger than a USB memory stick, having a standard connector at one end and a socket for a TV antenna at the other.
The difference with this tuner is that it allows you to view two channels are once. So, you can be watching one programme while recording another. It supports 16:9 aspect ratio, as well as a notebook's more typical 16:10
The HyperMedia software is fairly intuitive and installing and setting-up the device straight-forward. It supports standard analogue channels as well as free-to-air digital channels.
Once installed, we found it took 15 minutes for the scanning process to track and fully set-up the tuner. As with similar devices, the best results are when you plug in a rooftop aerial instead of the supplied mini-aerial.
The website claims this latest version is now compatible with the Asus Eee PC. However, the new drivers only work with the Windows XP version and not the more popular Linux version, which is disappointing. Another disappointment is the lack of support for Teletext in the UK.
At £35, it's hard to fault this tuner. There are no faults with the KWorld PlusTV Dual DVB-T Stick that aren't inherent in the technology and if you take these into account, you'll be happy with the results of this TV tuner. Dual channel support works well and the supplied software offers reasonable quality.

In order to produce the interactivity, the system exhibits a 2D movie, in real size (1:1), showing scenes and scenarios close to the reality of the professional under training. During the movie an unexpected situation of danger emerges and the user has to make quick decisions to circumvent the problem. Depending on the reactions of the user, the automated system chooses the best sequence for the movie. Afterwards, the reactions and decision taken by the users will be evaluated by computer software to determine his/her performance.

Relleno in Spanish means stuffed. Here, I have stuffed the chicken breasts with cheese and green chile, then coated them with a crispy coating. The traditional Salsa Fresca is wonderful as an accompaniment.
Yield: 4 servings
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, trimmed of any fat or sinew (see note)
2 Tablespoons low-fat Cheddar Cheese or more to suit taste
2 Tablespoons chopped green chile (canned or frozen) or more to suit taste
¼ cup skim milk or buttermilk
½ cup cornflake crumbs (see note)
Salsa Fresca, optional
1. Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Pound with a tenderizer mallet or the flat side of a heavy knife. Lay the chicken breasts out flat and divide the cheese and chiles among them.
Roll the chicken and fasten with toothpicks or skewers, tucking in the sides to hold the cheese mixture. Dip in the milk to coat uniformly then dip into the cornflake crumbs.
2. Place in a microwave-safe baking dish, cover with wax paper, and cook on high for 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the Salsa Fresca, if using. Spoon a ribbon of salsa over each serving.
Salsa Garnish
½ cup chopped tomato
½ cup chopped onion
½ chopped green chiles
Combine the tomato, onion, and chiles; mix well.
*Note: Boneless, skinless thighs can be substituted, if preferred. Cheese-cracker crumbs can be substituted for the cornflake crumbs, but they contain more fat.

"A good story with a hero you'd prefer not to like"
A good story since it is fairly unique in its setup and execution. The challenges, crimes, and retributions in this story are more indirect and obscure than in your typical crime or espionage book. You really have to think to understand why all the characters are trying to get even and why the "hero" is in the middle of it all. Along the way, we get exposed to Italy and Bologna, in a way you wouldn't normally experience it in an espionage novel. I found myself wishing for pasta and wine every night I was reading this book. If you enjoy subtlety rather than being hit by a 2x4 in a spy book, you'll probably enjoy this.
"Italian Travelogue"
I?m sorry I wasted a monthly selection on this book. If I wanted to learn Italian or I wanted a Travelogue of Italy I would have downloaded Italy for Dummies....
"Not bad... Not good, but not bad."
This book isn't much. It certainly benefits from excellent narration. The story itself is pretty much lacking. It isn't bad but it isn't real good either. Grisham could have done much better. The audiobook held my attention and I finished it. That's probably worth three stars. If you haven't listened to any of Grishams early work, I recommend that instead.
Ho hum... Yawn..
"Grisham in Transition"
I orginally started this title in the abridged form. I couldn't follow it. I bought the unabridged, having listened to Scott Brick before. I heard him paint the audio canvas with this great tale by Grisham - another of my favorites. The thing about the story that set it apart from everything else I have read of Mr. Grisham's - is that while it had to do with law, it had more to do with politics, power, money, and international flavor. I got to "live" them vicariously through the author's love of Italy, and the narrator's vivid characterizations.
Michael Beck makes it easy to love Italy and the fast pace of this novel makes stop-and-go traffic an afterthought. While the gritty details are skimmed over quite quickly, the intent of the book is not to write a factual spy how-to. Rather you are drenched in Italian culture and the focus is clearly on the broker who transforms his identity from hellion to hero. Believable, entertaining and worth your time. And I'm looking for more books read by Beck.
"Time for a change"
I really wanted to like this book, however it failed on many levels. I've grown tired of hearing long descriptions of food, how it eaten, who ate what and so on. The book lacked cleverness in all respects. It's time for Grisham to get back to writing good books like he did in the beginning of his career. Come on John you can do it!
"A disappointment"
I know if I had to read this book I would have quit after 50 or so pages. Extremely boring. I kept listening to it in anticipation of it getting better at any moment..... it never did. This has to rank as one of Grishmam's literary failures.
"Please go back to Southern legal thrillers"
I generally like Grisham, but was extremely disappointed with the Broker. The novel's tour through Italy is an obvious attempt to capitalize on the success of books like "Under the Tuscan Sun", but the writing in this case is tedious and uninteresting. (Half the drama seems to involve the protagonist repeatedly ordering lunch in Italian.) Similarly, Grisham's daliance into the spy genre is lame. The plot is slow to develop and not the least bit plausible.
"Not Mr. Grishams best work"
Mr. Grisham hasn't really written a good book since he decided he no longer wanted to write lawyer books (The Bleachers was the only non legal thriller that was any good). It appears that he now is trying to enter the spy/espionage type thriller. This is not his area of expertise and there are a lot of authors out there that do a much better job at it then Mr. Grisham (Ludlum, Demille, Finder, Crichton, etc.)
I heard the unabridged version, and the reading was awful. Several times in mid sentence, it sounded like the reader dubbed over a previous reading (meaning, late in a chapter his voice was getting tired, all of a sudden his fresh voice overlayed a few of the words in mid sentence). This happened a lot throughout the book and it really made it a very difficult listen.
"The rich get richer"
This book goes to show that if you get enough books published you can get anything published. Slow does not even begin to give the pace of this "book". This book would have you believe that an attorney / lobbyist who has been in prison for last 6 years is cunning enough to learn another language, become a self-taught counter intelligence agent, allude the intelligence agencies of 4 different countries and learn the nuances of an Italian city that until this point he did not know existed. All in the span of 2 months.
I'm not sure but I would be willing to bet that Grishams child was the actual author of this snorer.

He uses his powers to help cats.
Krauss began his work as a feline crusader 13-years ago when a desperate cat owner called a tree service to rescue his cat from a tree.
An international tree climbing champion, Krauss decided to use his skill to rescue cats, and since then he's literally gone out on a limb for hundreds of hissing and spitting felines.
The man known as Tarzan Dan or Dan the Man has always loved cats. He recently helped out a cat named Hank, who had been stuck up a tree for two days.
The people who own the cats that Krauss rescues heap praise on him, but he doesn't let the attention go to his head.
"I don't really consider myself a hero, you know," he said. "I'm not running into burning buildings. I'm not getting shot at, I'm just rescuing a cat. I'm kind of hero light."
Krauss is quick to downplay his heroics, but anyone who's seen him in action knows it's no easy task. The most difficult part is actually getting the scared cat into a bag once he reaches it.
"And I yell down, 'The cat's in the bag!' And everybody's like, 'Oh, the cat's in the bag,'" he said.

Product Description
2011 album from the New Zealand-born soprano. With a CV that belies her 23 years, having performed with Jose Carreras through to Andrea Bocelli and touring North America with Il Divo, Hayley is now realising her dream of working with master Italian composer and conductor Ennio Morricone, on her studio album Paradiso. Well known for his iconic film scores including The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West, Morricone is regarded as one of the most prolific and influential composers of his era. Despite the 60-year-age difference and distinct language barrier, Westenra and Morricone struck up an incredible bond whilst recording Paradiso with Ennio's orchestra in Rome last summer.

On the Slane Castle dvd, it quickly becomes obvious that Hayley has a beautiful and powerful voice. This becomes a proven fact when you see the number of cds that she currently has for sale on the internet. Having only seen her on the one dvd, I was unaware of her true singing style until I purchased her "Paradiso" cd. Unlike what I witnessed on the "Greatest Journey Collection," this cd sounds more akin to a collection of melancholy ballads. And while this may not be my preferred music style, I am sure that other people will find it to their liking.
Thank you for your feedback.

This is an excellent CD for those of us who like classical sounds but sometimes want to hear light, easy to follow music. Hayley Westenra has a beautiful trained voice and she is able to transform simple songs in pieces of art. She has very sweet and pristine sounding high notes, making the CD enjoyable to everyone.

I think this performance lacks lustre although she is working with the great Morricone. She has a fabulous voice but she has not used it, I think she has more, and that should have been addressed. A great effort of course.

Utes football: Utah returns a vast amount of experience at safety
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — When it comes to experience and returning starters, safety is a position of wealth for the Utah Utes. They return all five players who made starts last season, including headliners Eric Rowe and Brian Blechen. Tyron Morris-Edwards, Quade Chappuis and Michael Walker are the others.
"It's an exciting group, obviously. Right now it's fun because we're trying to get the younger guys to come along," said Utah safeties coach Morgan Scalley, who noted the importance of building more depth. "In this league stuff happens and you've got to be able to bring guys in and not miss a beat."
Blechen was suspended for the first three games last season and Rowe later missed two because of a hamstring injury. Chappuis wound up making four starts, while Morris-Edwards made one. Walker, who is now competing for the nickel back spot, ended up getting a start at strong safety against Arizona when Blechen opened the game at linebacker.
This spring, several others are getting reps at safety. The cast includes sophomores Charles Henderson, Josh Anderson and Darchon Taggart.
"If we can get those guys to come along we'll be in good shape," Scalley said.
If all goes as planned, Blechen may end up as a linebacker — especially if things work out with junior college transfer Tevin Carter joining the mix this fall.
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said that Blechen is on the bubble again when it comes to being a safety or a linebacker. He's made starts at both positions over the past two seasons.
"A lot of it has to with how Tevin comes in and plays," Whittingham explained.
Carter, a former wide receiver who redshirted one season at California before transferring to Southwest College in Los Angeles, honed his skills on defense last season — using his 6-foot-2, 220-pound frame to make a team-high 62 tackles and three interceptions.
"We're excited for Tevin to come in but when they get here they've got to learn and they've got to prove that they can do it," Scalley said. "So we're excited for him to come in. We believe he can do it, but time will tell."
In the meantime, Blechen has been taking reps — albeit limited ones because of lingering tendinitis — this spring at both linebacker and safety.
"It's kind of like last year and last year we didn't have the luxury to leave him at linebacker. We just didn't have that luxury and so we'll see," Whittingham said. "He makes us a more athletic group at linebacker if we can get that done, but we'll see what happens."
Whittingham added that Blechen, who was the team's third-leading tackler in 2012, is a vital part of Utah's defense and will play up front as a senior if the staff has its druthers.
As far as a position is concerned, Blechen doesn't mind where he ends up. He jokingly added quarterback to safety and linebacker.
"Wherever. It doesn't matter to me," Blechen said. "Whatever will help out the defense. By now, I pretty much know every position. So whatever works."
Blechen's versatility, Scalley acknowledged, is a great thing for the Utes.
"He's had experience at both and it allows you to do a bunch of different things as far as disguise purposes you can go and not have to change personnel."
Depth allows for such options. Even so, Scalley isn't sure the position is as strong as it was during the Sugar Bowl championship year. The 2008 team featured safeties like Robert Johnson, Joe Dale, Terrell Cole and Deshawn Richard.

PMD provides a wonderful outlet for those who want to volunteer but can't commit to doing so on a regular schedule, and/or who have not selected (or do not want to narrow themselves to) a single specific cause. And it provides a wonderful resource for organizations which need a burst of reliable manpower for a specific task.
It can also be a great way to learn about organizations operating in the area, and the causes they support. if you *are* shopping around for a longer-term volunteering gig.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
... have trouble thinking of something that needed to change. Though it might be nice if they were funded better; I think that's the main factor limiting what they can accomplish. (I'm already making a sizable contribution each year. Which is itself a serious endorsement.)
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
A lot
Did the organization use your time wisely?

Terrific organization - adds real value to both volunteers and to the organizations it help. Adds may hours of valuable work and does it on a shoestring. A "best-in-class" operation.

PMD has done a number of projects which support STEM activities for youth. By far, my favorite is the assembly of special LEGO kits used as manipulatives to teach public school students about DNA and related concepts.

If you're a non-profit who needs people to complete a key project, look to PMD. They'll gather volunteers, arrange for supplies, and organize everything.

I was initially drawn to PMD when I read the mission statement; it just makes sense. I love knowing that my time is being used to meet needs expressed by organizations doing great things. Furthermore, I get to work with a variety of people and organizations -- from cooking for elders, to assembling Braille books, to putting together lego-science kits. Lori, the founder, attends every PMD event and ensures they are running smoothly, everyone knows what is happening, and our time is being used productively. Her positive energy is infectious and working with the diverse group PMD attracts is always a joy. I always leave tired and proud of the work we accomplished.

PMD lives up to it's name - every volunteer opportunity is a time to really make a difference for the organization and for the lives of people in Boston. Too often "volunteering" especially in a corporate program, can mean that you are just showing up and doing "make work" - that is never the case with PMD, where they have clearly worked with each organization to make sure volunteer efforts go where they are truly needed.

People Making a Difference (PMD) is a stunning example of a well-run nonprofit. Their concept of providing volunteers for one-off projects is an outstanding idea, matching up a community's needs to people who are willing to complete tasks to solve those needs. Signing up is incredibly easy. Each project had clearly defined start and stop times, as well as detailed descriptions so one knows what to expect.
I was also introduced to other nonprofits and organizations I would have otherwise never encountered. All the projects on which I helped directly impacted individuals in the community. The variety of projects, too, is amazing and all of them hands-on activities. Some of my projects were: putting together Braille books; cooking, serving and sharing a meal with at risk/lonely elderly residents; clearing invasive, non-native plants at both Belle Isle Marsh and Walden Pond; building trails in the City of Lynn; sorting and folding donated clothes at St. Francis House; preparing and serving meals at Pine Street Inn and the Women's Lunch Place; packaging books for prisoners. And those just skim the surface!
The projects are all well defined and well run, with instructions from the project manager at the start and time to introduce ourselves. I met loads of interesting people, from MIT students to 90 year-olds. I tried new recipes , found new places in the greater Boston area and learned how to handle a mattock - so, while I was donating my time, I was also learning.

I travel a lot for work, but still like to contribute to the community in which I live and PMD makes that incredibly easy. On my own, I wouldn't have had time to seek out the variety of volunteer opportunities they offer, and all for other organizations! The projects I've participated in have allowed me to work outdoors on trails, cook and share Thanksgiving dinner with the elderly, put together Braille books, paint signs and faces, and sort clothes for the homeless. All volunteer project managers have been well organized and knowledgeable - the different teams interesting, diverse and fun. PMD and Lori are treasures!

I have been involved with PMD in various forms since 1992. I started out as a volunteer while in college and participated ~5-10 projects every academic year in conjunction with my Circle K club. After graduating and remaining in the area, I remained affiliated with the organization because its service mission--to help other charities in need, responsibly--leaving an organization better than it was before the event. Sadly, this cannot be said of all organizations. PMD promotes responsible volunteerism and this is good for charitable organizations that lack the infrastructure to have their own in-house volunteer programs. Unfortunately for PMD, the term "responsible volunteerism" isn't sexy and isn't the first thing that comes to mind as a goal for volunteers. That is, until they've had some experiences under their belt and can compare the difference, People Making a Difference, really makes.

I've been involved with PMD for a number of years and have volunteered for a variety of projects.
PMD has a penchant for starting and ending projects on time and communicating well about the charities that are served by serving on their projects.

This is a unique charity in that you can volunteer for different causes and projects and spread around your time and efforts. Volunteering at the National Braille Press was fantastic, We were able to prepare children's books with transparent, braille inscribed page coverings so that parents of blind children (or children of blind parents) could read along. We learned about the history of the press and how, sadly, they make do with so little. PMD makes the volunteer effort easy and seamless and they provide all materials.

I volunteered with this energetic bunch over in East Boston. The job was very rewarding because I was able to see the difference my work made. It was additionally rewarding because the park ranger gave us an education in a variety of plants and wildlife which was indigenous to the area. The group appears to do a variety of settings some indoors and some outdoors like the East Boston experience. I would recommend this group to my friends and family.

What is this bag? What is this logo?
The other day I spotted a very handsome shoulder bag of brown leather with a red stripe. I want to own one just like it. I wasn't able to ask the owner where he got it, but I was able to spot the manufacturer's logo. It looks like a heart, split down the middle into two lobes, and lying on its side. I've drawn a very crude version of it here. It looks faintly familiar to me -- does anyone recognize it? And in general, is there a good resource somewhere for looking up logos?

The cold weather seems to have caused horrible, alien looking bugs to invade our basement. They are fairly slow moving (unless startled) and look like spiders and grasshoppers mated to produce alien children.

Commercial with the creepy old guy who said "Yah, yah, yah"?
What was the commercial around 10 years ago that had a creepy old guy talk about packing off his family someplace, with the vague insinuation that they might have come to a bad end? I think it was for computer printers or something, and he had taped pictures of the family up around the house and was reveling in being alone. The dialog went something like "Sent the grandkids off camping with their aunt Carrie. Yah, yah, yaaaaaaaah." The "Yah, yah, yaaaaaah" was said in sort of a satisfied sigh and was highly imitable.

In college my friend had a bunch of those random skate videos that mixed found footage, some skating and Big Brother style pranks and crap. This one was called "Darth Vedda" or something like that.

I don't think it's from a porn, it has more of a Andy Sidaris kind of feel. I'd really love to watch this movie...anyone recognize it? Thanks!

Another Stand-up Comedian Post...
Based on the current influx of questions about stand-up comedians, I've been reminded of a question that has been plaguing me for a while. But unfortunately, I don't have much information. - Male. 40+ yrs old. Dressed plainly. - Opened for Lewis Black at the Univ. of Connecticut in the Fall/Winter of 2006 or 2007 - Shtick was borderline psychotic. Like he was extremely angry and ready to snap. Genuinely scared me a little at the beginning. He never really left this personality. - Worked the crowd a little and even left the stage to walk through the crowd. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
